Hey guys, first of all merry christmas to all you red devils.
Recently I mentioned on the tail end of a post lauding the posiive stats around Pogbas influence on yer side. I must say that while he is clearly a talented player he is an absolute liability at times, what is his actual role in the team?
Also did you know that you concede more goals with him in the team than out? And this has usually been against 'weaker' sides.
Clearly he is an important player in an attacking sense, but he is so weak defensively and tactically and plays purely for himself.
Interested as to what Man Utd supporters honest opinion on him is.

We paid 90 million for a midfielder.
Someone to boss games, for that I thought we were getting a leader someone to control games.
He looks more interested in his hair, music and dancing. a clown.

How many other 24 yr olds cost that money though? why expect the same output from pogba as another 24yr old who cost 20mil?
Your side concede more with him in he team as he lacks defensive awareness and tactical knowledge.
His goals are against-whu, swansea and newcastle
His assists-swansea, stoke, newcastle, (2) arsenal, cska
He is the equivalent of lukaku in midfield, a flat rack bully who really lacks the quality to apply himself consistently and at the highest level. Your side looks so much more balanced with fellaini in midfield.

If you go back to scholes, Keane giggs Neville etc. Then boys cared about United, they would lose a night sleep over losing, pogba and lingard would go home and play a game of fuseball and have a dance.
I read last week United staff had to ring pogba to get him in to training.

You read that did you? Must be true then haha. Pogba in on a different level to the rest of the team, he is so good to watch, I honestly can’t understand anyone who watches him play and doesn’t see it but I guess Football is about opinions.

Saying pogba doesn't need to perform as a record signing because he's only 24 and scholes wasnt great at 24 is ridiculous, Roy Keane signed at 24 for a record fee and immediately displaced the Robson/ Ince partnership and went on to dominate midfield for years, Pogba has to be surrounded with players to do all the defensive work and tracking back for him. A glorified show pony who performs against relegation fodder and is anonymous in big games, even at Juve he was surrounded by people doing the donkey work for him while he pranced around dancing and putting funny colours in his hair, doesn't even show up to a session after losing to bristol, and swans around with the armband. Crazy situation.
